MUE - I'm glad that the show went well, and I'm glad that you were able to speak up to your ex.
Thanks for this!

Thanks!! It felt good to realize that I have some power and that I don't have to cower to him anymore. It still didn't feel good to be reminded of those feelings, even though the realization that came afterwards was powerful.

I just read this posted by a friend on FB....

"If you choose to always make it all about you, that's precisely who you'll end up with."

Wow, what an awesome quote.

We agreed to me working less and being at the hospital, and agreed that I really had to help his mother with his step dad in particular because she had no one else to help. Tonight he denied those conversations had ever happened. He was also really angry at me for thinking that it was "his job" to provide for the family while I was working less.

anyway. Hope other people are having a good evening.
This is discouraging for sure.

I took years to accept that it wasn't my responsibility solely.

Now my wife earns the same as me. I'm cool with that.

Wow, that must be incredibly frustrating to deal with.....

I'd imagine feeling quite resentful.

Finally home. It's been a very long day.

I really wish my pdoc would just manage my meds and leave the therapy to my therapist. It's not like I get much out of 45 minutes/month. Plus, my meds are working and I now have a year's prescription, so unless something stops working, there's nothing she needs to do.

Home and wanting to crawl under the covers but H is being his annoying self and talk talk talk talk talk talk talk I swear the man never EVER shuts his mouth. Bah. My current discontent applies to my marriage as well and yesterday at work I was writing in my journal that I would be better off without him. I don't know where all of this negative is coming from. I need a fairy wand to whoosh it all away. BAH!

H and I decided to find a marriage T. My T offered to do it, only if I felt comfortable with it. I said no, and I know my I wouldn't be cool with it. So, I e-mailed T for the info about the T he suggested last session.

For some reason our insurance doesn't cover marriage T and the only marriage Ts don't take our insurance, so we will have to pay out of pocket, hopefully it won't too bad. I really hope that this works out.

Seems like you were quite triggered today but didn't express those feelings to T....I hate when I do that because then I feel so much worse afterwards. I hope you're able to make some sense out of the feelings and work through it openly with T.

Well, I just talked to my pdoc, admitted I stopped my meds (and felt better because of it) and he thinks he'll take me out of the public mental health system (funded psychiatrist visits for me). Means everything is private again (feels more within my own control). Can't believe escaping the system was that easy, but wonder if I'll regret having to wait months again if I need to be referred. Oh well!

I was so shocked during the session, I didn't realize how I was feeling until the end of session. Her next session was a Skype, which she was already starting to set up as I was leaving.
